Stop Counting Desks.
Start Making Better Decisions.

For years, workplace decisions often came down to one question.

“How many desks do we need?”

But the workplace has changed. And that question is no longer enough.

Today, workplace decisions sit at the intersection of Real Estate, Facilities, HR, Finance, IT and leadership.

Everyone has a different objective. Everyone has a different definition of success.

So how do you make one decision that works for all of them?

With better evidence.

At WDC26, Asaël Akkerman will introduce a new way of thinking about workplace strategy: Workplace Decision Intelligence.

It moves workplace strategy beyond assumptions, isolated data points and endless debates about office utilization.

Instead, it connects behavioural patterns, workplace experience, organizational culture and utilization data to help leaders make better decisions about people, place and the future of work.

But Asaël is taking it one step further.

Before the conference, attendees will be invited to take a short workplace pulse survey.

The results will create a picture of how people in Slovenia experience their workplaces today — including attendance, collaboration, commuting, workplace experience and culture.

Then comes the interesting part. The Slovenian results will be compared with Workplaced’s global benchmark and revealed live at WDC26.

No more debating hybrid work based on assumptions.

Asaël’s keynote will trace the evolution of workplace thinking — from traditional space allocation, through activity-based and experience-based approaches, to evidence-based and ultimately decision-based working.

Because the next generation of workplace strategy isn’t about collecting more data. It’s about using the right evidence to make better decisions.

• +Decisions that connect people, place and business.
• +Decisions that can adapt as the organization changes.
• +And decisions that don’t belong to one department anymore. They belong to all of them.
